my pos computer died again
My thread from a few months ago talked about my computer crashing and the horrible customer service from Frys. Well I'm on vacation and my lap top died... Again. Attempting start up repair but nothing is happening. It never ran right after Frys got a hold of it.
To boot, my new iPod is corrupted. So, where should I buy a new laptop from? Best buy sucks, Frys sucks. I'd like to buy from.a brick and mortar store so I can have customer service. I live in the ie if that helps pointing me in the right direction

Just purchase a Lenovo, Thinkpad, or Dell and pay for higher tier warranty so you can get fast turnaround times on service when you have to ship it in.

Sweet. I only buy cheap junk and back up a lot. Comcast's package of virus etc. has worked very well, even exploring the outer edges of the web. It is a Norton product.

1. Sony store. You can buy your laptop and another Sony products from their store, there's one in Valley Fair Shopping Center if you live the Bay Area. 2. Microsoft. Yup, they sell laptops now, Surface Pro. Just make sure you don't accidentally buy the wrong one, called Surface RT which uses a ARM processor. They' too have a store in Valley Fair. If you're looking for something with a little more power and style, Sony VAIO line of laptops are nice. Costco sells laptops too, not sure about customer service and support though. |

I buy all my computer needs from newegg; check out some of the laptops on there. I suggest these laptops: Asus, Lenovo, Alienware, Dell, or Apple(but not really for gaming)

unless you're living in a very small room, do not buy a "gaming laptop". The money you spend for an even half way decent rig will be leaps and bounds above a comparable desktop model, and will still have over heating issues.
You can buy a decent laptop for office work and a decent gaming desktop for the same price as a passable gaming laptop. |

19" Rack-mount here, but if you don't want an industry standard case, or a place to throw a few HDDs, Dells seem to run forever, at least after the Cap-plague ran it's course... i7's:

There's your problem. Gaming laptops burn themselves out. They are not made for the heat that they produce. If you want gaming get a desktop. If apart goes out it is easy to replace.

What the hell are you doing with your laptops that they burn out that fast lol,
I would buy from Amazon... I got a 499 Asus from them than Bestbuy had on sale for 600... You can also get a pretty sweet Mini Mac for home use... and a i5/i7 laptop from Amazon for around 600 bucks...
